Jonathan Mingo: The Dallas Cowboys have made a notable move just before the NFL trade deadline, acquiring wide receiver Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers. This trade includes Mingo and a seventh-round pick in 2025 in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2025, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hinted at this acquisition during his weekly interview on 105.3 The Fan, emphasizing the team’s need to strengthen their receiving corps. Mingo, who is just 23 years old, was drafted in the second round last season. He showed promise in his rookie year, catching 43 passes for 418 yards. However, this season has been challenging for him, as he has only recorded 12 catches for 121 yards over nine games. Despite being on the field for over half of the offensive plays, Mingo hasn’t made a catch since a disappointing game against Atlanta on October 13, where he gained just one yard.

"We're not selling."
The Cowboys had their eyes on Mingo during the pre-draft process, and now they have a chance to utilize his skills. With Mingo under contract through 2026, the Cowboys are hoping to reignite his potential and integrate him effectively into their offense.
